I love America, but I don't blame our country for the problems of sick individuals. That said, I wouldn't be suprised if the Foster care system needed a revamping.

You say you can't blame the system, then you turn around and say you wouldn't be surprised if the system needed revamping. WTF?
I will say from experience that many foster families are NOT screened properly, foster homes are NOT inspected regularly, and ANYONE with a clean history can become foster parents. THAT is the system.
Now... when there is something going on, and a caseworker does follow up on the children, if things are said that could possibly taint the system in the communities eyes, then it goes overlooked. Often the children are blamed for the behaviour skills and when telling on the homes or the parents for any abusive action, the kid is traumatised or a liar or just making shit up cause they want to go home. EXACTLY like being in Jail. VERY FEW foster homes are legitimate as caring for the children properly and using the funds provided to them on the care they are provided for. Not to mention the ammount of money foster homes recieve for their own needs. Approx. $250 - $500 a month per child. Many homes have 3 children or more and both parents work good jobs.
